CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::figures she spent enough time at the beach... her nose is a slightly pink::

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CNS: Have you been able to go over of the Archimedes crew files?

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: looks up to OPS, hearing the slight chirrup from her console ::

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
XO: Um, that would be a negative.

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
XO:  Sir, incoming transmission.

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: Source?

SO_Lt_York says:
::resets the buffers and clears the LRS's, then starts a level 3 system's check::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
XO:  Checking Sir. :: fingers fly over her console ::

SO_Lt_York says:
Self: I go on a vacation for a few days and no one tends to my equipment....

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
XO:  It is a shuttle...:; presses a few more buttons and looks up with a surprised expression :;  origin is Federation.  Unable to identify type yet.

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: raises brow :: OPS: Put it through.

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
XO:  Aye Sir.  :: taps at her console :; On screen.

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::sits up straight and smoothes the creases in her uniform::

Host Xon says:
@::sitting prim and proper, speaking in a quiet voice, not quite looking at the screen:  COM: Tal War:  This is Xon...I'm here to see Tobius Wuer on Trill business.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::looks across to SO::  SO: Problem Lt?

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: stands :: COM: Shuttle: This is Commander Trelan of the USS Tal-War. :: looks back to Tobius before returning his gaze to the screen ::

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::knows exactly what this Xon guy wants... though he's going about it in a strange way...::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::hears the Comm.:: Self: Damn, they got me finally

SO_Lt_York says:
CSO: You tell me, the sensor grid is completely jammed from being tested in dry-dock.

SO_Lt_York says:
CSO: The men in white robes? ::grins::

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
COM: Shuttle: What sort of business?

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
XO: Commander, it's his zhian'tara...

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
XO: You know... meeting the past lives...?

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: looks back to Solaa :: CNS: Ah. I see.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
SO: I was told it was sorted, they always ruin something, are you on it I think my attention is needed elsewhere  ::walks to the front of the bridge::

Host Xon says:
@::Takes a deep breath not used to being around too many people.::  COM:XO:  It is Trill business that he has put off for far to long.  I have permission from Starfleet Command to be here....::Turns red a bit.::  Do you question that..? ::Looks down at the floor::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: lets a slight smile touch the corner of her mouth, figuring that the CSO had put his rite off far too long ::

SO_Lt_York says:
CSO: On it sir. You just go talk to the nice men from the hospital.

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
COM: Shuttle: Not at all. We will drop out of warp and bring you aboard.

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
FCO: Helm, drop to impulse and prepare to receive our guest.

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::looks at the CSO:: CSO: You act like you're going to your death. ::laughs::

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: Assign quarters. I'm sure this will take a while.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::looks at the XO:: XO: Sorry about this sir, it was in our orders to expect him but I was hoping he may get lost on the way ::smiles::

Host Xon says:
@COM:XO:  Thank you very much.

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: grins slightly :: CSO: No need to apologize, Commander. We all must adhere to certain ritualistic commands of our culture.

<FCO_Rouge> XO: Dropping from warp sir.

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CSO: It's like... coming home, I hear, Tobius. Though I've never been joined... 

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
XO:  Aye Sir, I've taken the liberty of assigning VIP quarters.

ACTION: The Tal War drops out of warp near to the shuttle.

Host Xon says:
@::Sees the ship drop out of warp and manoeuvres towards it.::

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CSO: The pools are nice and warm, at least... ::remembers her own time in the underground pools as a child:: 

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CNS: Your filling me with confidence, anyway I was hoping you'd ;like to participate...

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CSO: Me?! Really?

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CSO: Why don't you go down and greet our guest and show him to his quarters.

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::is sort of in shock... zhian'tara takes special people::

SO_Lt_York says:
::looks up...of course, Wuer has never really taken his eyes of his girl::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CNS: Well your the nearest thing I have to friend these days XO: Oh and maybe you like to take part to sir, anyway I'll see our guest is okay  CNS: Would you care to join me Lt?

Host Xon says:
@::Lands in the shuttle bay and begins powering down the ship.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: looks around at the CSO ::  CSO:  Commander, I have participated in a zhian'tara rite before.  I would gladly offer my services to you as well.

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CSO: Sure. ::stands up:: 

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::tries not to think of other things he could be doing::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
OPS: Thank you commander ::smiles::

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::follows the CSO::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
CSO:  You are welcome Sir.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::he needed to examine the results of his inquiries::

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: once the doors close, moves to OPS :: OPS: So, Sharra... tell me what I just got myself into? :: smiles ::

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CSO: How many lives have you had? I've forgotten...

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
<FCO_Rouge>XO: Do you want us to return on a heading to Risa?

SO_Lt_York says:
::sighs, then moves over to SCI1::

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
FCO: Oh, yes... of course. Resume course and speed.

Host Xon says:
::Stands up and slings a bag over his shoulder.  Exits the shuttle and looks around the bay...it's blissfully almost empty.::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
TL: Main Shuttlebay.  CNS: I'm the sixth Wuer host

ACTION: The Tal War returns to warp

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CSO: Okay, so five people... ::is thinking about the logistics of the ceremony::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: grins at the XO :: XO:  Well, Sir, you've just agreed to loan your body to Commander Wuer.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CNS: Yep seems I have three people already though hopefully... It's just unfortunate to be on this sort of covert mission when this happens

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: You know, for some reason, that just doesn't sound right...

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: snickers ::

SO_Lt_York says:
::resets the long range sensors:: CTO: Hey....Ensign. ::has no idea who that guy is:: How are the tactical sensors operating ?

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: Does the "host" remember anything once it's all said and done?

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:; chuckles :: XO:  I understand Sir and you may want to ask your wife if she has a problem with it.  :: stifles a large laugh ::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
SO: I have noticed no abnormalities so far...

Host Xon says:
::Wonders where Wuer is...  Exits the shuttle bay and stands in the hallway.  Looking both ways he wonders which way to go.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
XO:  Well Sir, in most cases they do.

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
OPS: :: laughing slightly :: We aren't married yet.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
SO: Except for occasional static... there might be a slight misalignment

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::steps off the TL:: CNS: Wonder what this guy is going to be like, the Guardians can be strange people

SO_Lt_York says:
CTO: Well I'm going to access them and purge them. Stand by.

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
XO:  I wouldn't tell her that Sir. :: winks and chuckles ::

Host Xon says:
::Picks  a direction...turns left and begins to walk.::

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CSO: Well, he'll be just that... strange.

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: laughs as he turns and returns to the centre seat ::

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CSO: My cousin... is a guardian. I mean it's a really great profession and our culture wouldn't survive without them, but...

SO_Lt_York says:
:: accesses the tactical sensors and starts purging the buffers:: CTO: Keep your eyes peeled.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
CNS: To be quite honest I really don't want to be doing this nonsense at al...... :: bumps into someone heading round the corner::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::rolls his eyes slightly::

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CSO: It's not nonsense, Tobi-- :: stops quickly when Tobius hits someone::

Host Xon says:
::Sees a group of people and stiffens...they are talking and laughing as they walk by...he jumps into the nearest room on the right.  As the door closes behind him he lets out a breath 
and leans against the door.::

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
<Yeoman> :: exits the turbolift and approaches the Exec, handing him a PADD with the current ship's duty roster for his approval ::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: continues to monitor ships systems ::

SO_Lt_York says:
::clears the buffer then re-aligns the system::

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: takes the offered PADD, tapping in his code and handing it back with a slight smile and nod ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::watches as the figure dives into a side door:: CNS: That was odd...

SO_Lt_York says:
CTO: Try them now.

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CSO: It was our Guardian friend.

Host Xon says:
::Opens his eyes and sees a room full of children and pales.  Thinks they are loud little urchins::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::sighs softly, and initiates a cursory sensor sweep::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::heads into the side room::

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::follows the CSO::

Host Xon says:
::Feels the door open behind him and falls backwards as he was leaning against it.::

ACTION: A beeping on the OPS console signals another incoming transmission, this time on a secure Starfleet channel

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
XO:  Sir, incoming transmission on a secure channel.

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
Xon: Hey, chill out now... ::looks disdainfully at the Guardian falling all over the place::

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: brow furrows slightly :: OPS: On screen.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::catches the figure that falls back, which turns out to be the Guardian:: Xon: Are you okay?  ::looks shrugging slightly at Solaa::

Host Xon says:
@::Still pale:: CSO/CNS:  I......I......I....m alright... ::Stuttering..:: I'm,  I'm.....looking for LtCmdr.....W...Wu....Wuer.

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
XO:  Aye Sir.

ACTION: The figure of a slightly dishevelled Tactical officer appears on the main screen

SO_Lt_York says:
::looks up at the viewer::

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: stands :: COM: Tactical Officer: This is Commander Trelan of the USS Tal-War.

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
Xon: That would be him... ::points to the CSO::

<Cmdr_Henderson>COM: Tal War: This is Commander Henderson, can you confirm this line is secure?

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
:: looks over to OPS for a moment ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::helps Xon up to his feet:: Xon: Yep, it would be me your looking for I believe.

Host Xon says:
::Straightens up and pulls down his tunic::  CSO/CNS:  Ahhhhh Yes....I see the resemblance to your picture now... ::nods at him::  I'm Xon, one of the Guardians.  I believe we have an appointment.

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: nods at the XO ::

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
COM: Henderson: Confirmed. How can I help you?

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
::is excited about the prospect of being someone else for a little bit::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::has a feeling this is the ship they were looking for::

<Cmdr_Henderson>COM: Tal War: One of the Archimedes crew has just been reported as dead by one of the local authorities here on Risa

SO_Lt_York says:
::twirls his chair around, not having anything to do::

Host Xon says:
::looks at the CNS::  CNS:  Are you a joined Trill also?

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::well, close enough...::

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
Self: Dagva. COM: Henderson: Has it been confirmed?

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
Xon: Oh, no no... ::smiles::

Host Xon says:
::Looks at her hard.::  CNS:  Why do you look familiar then?  ::Tries to place her::

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
FCO: Helm, ETA to Risa?

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
Xon: Oh, I'm Rynia Solaa. My sister, Nadia, was Joined... 

<Cmdr_Henderson>COM: Tal War: Starfleet here on Risa has confirmed that it was indeed an officer who was on the Archimedes, although they have not released her assignment publicly

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
Xon: Um, to the Tokai symbiont...

Host Xon says:
::Thinks a moment.::  CNS:  Ahhhh yes...yes....

<FCO Rouge>XO: We should be there in around 12 hours current speed

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
COM: Henderson: We are still 12 hours away, Commander. :: sighs :: Think you can keep things under wraps until we arrive?

Host Xon says:
::Looks at the floor for a moment.::  CNS: My condolences on loosing your sister..

<Cmdr_Henderson>XO: I'm technically still undercover myself, so I'm not in contact with SF local forces directly even though it only a small unit, I was informed by my superior to break silence 
with you

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
COM: Henderson: Has an autopsy been performed? Do they know how she died?

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
Xon: Oh, that was so long ago... it's alright...

Host Xon says:
::Gives a shy smile to the nice Lady.::

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:; begins to see how to reroute power so as to increase speed to Risa if needed ::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::stands in the corner in almost a trance thinking about the ceremony to come when he suddenly breaks out of it:: Xon: Anyway shall we find your quarters?

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CSO: So, um, Tobius, who will I be?

Host Xon says:
::Turns to the other voice.::  CSO:  Yes that would be most acceptable...that way I can set up for the ceremony.  I'd like to start first thing in the morning.

<Cmdr_Henderson>COM: Tal War: I wasn’t even aware that anyone from the Archimedes was still here on Risa, there investigation was additional to my own but I think it may have blown my cover and I'm slightly fearing for my life now too

ACTION: OPS detects interference on the COM line

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
XO: I think we should move to maximum warp immediately.

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
COM: Henderson: For your life? So you think it was someone from the inside?

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
XO:  Sir, I'm detecting interference.  It's possible this channel is no longer secure.

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::turns down the corridor:: Xon: Well then this way...

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
COM: Henderson: Don't answer... com may have been compromised. We'll be there shortly. I recommending finding a place to hole up until we get there.

<Cmdr_Henderson>COM: Tal War: What the line isn't secure, then I've got to go.....

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: attempts to trace the source ::

<Cmdr_Henderson>COM: Tal War: .....they could be coming for me right now......

ACTION: The COM goes dead

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::looks to the XO::

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
FCO: Helm, increase to maximum warp. Engage!

SO_Lt_York says:
Self: Interesting...

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:; shakes her head :; XO:  We lost him Sir.

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: I want a team ready to go in as soon as we arrive.

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
SO: York, keep an eye on those sensors... I don't want any "guests" to take us by surprise.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::gets up from his chair:: XO: Consider it done. Anyone in particular you would like me to take?

SO_Lt_York says:
XO: Yes sir, no one will get past us.

Host XO_Cmdr_Trelan says:
CTO: Your discretion, Ensign.

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::nods, and heads for the turbolift::

CSO_LtCmdr_Wuer says:
::leads Xon and Solaa in the TL:: TL: Guest quarters,  CNS: You want to help set up the ceremony?

OPS_LtCmdr_Telgar says:
:: notifies engineering and reroutes power to warp drive to get the most out of the engines ::

Host Xon says:
::Follows meekly behind.::

CTO_Ens_Sek says:
::Taps his combadge:: CNS/CSO: Counsellor, commander... will you be available for an away 
mission?

CNS_Lt_Solaa says:
CSO: Oh, sure... ::taps her commbadge:: *CTO*: Unfortunately, no. Cmdr. Wuer and I are engaged in other things. But thank you though.
